Always back the horse named self-interest, son. It'll be the only one trying
WHAT a disastrous weekend it’s been for the sport in Queensland and if Racing Minister Grace Grace hasn’t heard the increasing calls for the removal of QRIC Commissioner Shane Gillard (pictured above) she must be living under a rock. Former Sunday Mail Editor and Sky News boss in Queensland, Peter Gleeson, in a stunning expose […]
The secretly funded new seemingly anti-Peter V’landys racing website thestraight.com.au broke new ground in its apparent campaign against the Racing NSW CEO by reciting from a speech given to the largely irrelevant upper house in the state given by the totally irrelevant MP Mark Latham under parliamentary privilege. https://thestraight.com.au/all-tip-no-iceberg-latham-launches-extraordinary-parliamentary-attack-on-part-time-peter-vlandys/ In his speech the madcap former […]

If there is one thing that Queenslander hate in their politicians its weakness. Joh wasn’t weak, nor was big Russ. Beattie wasn’t either.
